Texans humor

I found this article on SportsPickle.com. Kind of like The Onion for sports. Pretty funny stuff.

Mario Williams disappointed he’ll never get to face the Texans’ offensive line

Houston Texans draft pick Mario Williams says he is honored to have been taken No. 1 overall by the team, but is worried about how not getting to play the Texans will cut into his sack total.“I was brought in here to rush the quarterback and make sacks,” said Williams. “But more than 25-percent of all sacks in this league come against the Texans thanks to going up against our atrocious offensive line. That’s not a luxury I’ll have, though, meaning my stats are really going to suffer and people are more likely to look at me as a bust. But, if you think about it, if I was on the Colts, Titans or Jaguars and got to play Houston twice a year, I’d probably get 10 sacks just in those two games. But now those are 10 sacks per season I’ll never get. It’s disheartening.”Texans general manager Charley Casserly says he is also concerned with how being on the Texans will affect Williams’s production.“In mini-camp and in preseason practices he’s going to be a beast, no doubt, because he’ll get to go against the five embarrassments we have on our offensive line every day,” said Casserly. “But once the season starts it will be a huge shock to him – like suddenly going from Little League to the major leagues. I’m not just if that’s an adjustment he, or anyone, can really handle.”
